Crossword Genius

The weight of rock? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stone

I believe this is a double definition.

'the weight' is the first definition.
(stone is a unit of weight)

'rock?' is the second definition.
(I know that rock can be written as stone)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stone that I've seen before include "Hard lump of mineral matter" , "Boulder" , "Rock; cherry seed" , "See 5" , "Olive pip" .)
